On March 31, Beijing time, when George made his comeback debut, he exploded for 34 points, leading the Clippers to a 25-point reversal of the Jazz to win, so once Leonard returns, the Clippers led by Pepper double core will become the biggest spoiler in the playoffs? Sorry, according to the famous Brian Windhorst, the Clippers do not want Leonard to return this season, so it is likely that they will not be able to see the Pepper double core to lead the team to the championship this season.
The Clippers have performed unexpectedly this season, with Leonard in recuperation mode, George missing a lot of games, and the trade-winning third-place scorer Powell also injured, and they are currently able to rank 8th in the West and get a Western Conference playoff spot.
According to the famous Windhorst revealed on the show, "Although the Clippers have not yet announced Leonard season reimbursement, when they won't tell you that Leonard will definitely not play (and the Clippers did the same last season), they are now in eighth place in the West." The Clippers are in a situation where they're not going to go up or down, and they're going to stay in eighth. ”
The Clippers hope to win the first game of the playoffs and thus become the No. 7 seed in the West and be able to play the Grizzlies in the first round of the playoffs. It's not a good thing, even if Leonard comes back, he's not in form, and the Grizzlies are the dark horse team that has been competing for the title this season. ”
"As for if the Clippers lose the first game of the playoffs, and then they win the second game of the playoffs and will be eighth in the West, they will play the Suns in the first round, and the Suns are currently the best team in the league. So for the Clippers this season, being able to make it into the playoffs is a success, and George's return and getting back in shape is a success. The young people in the Clippers, who have played well this season, including Terrance Mann, Reggie, Zubac, etc., will have a longer-term goal. ”
The Clippers certainly don't want Leonard to make a comeback, but they haven't completely closed the door to the possibility of Leonard's comeback. Why let Leonard make a hasty comeback shortly after he had a cruciate ligament laceration? He's not in the game yet, and then going to play a series that's hard to win? It is not difficult to see that according to the analysis of the famous Brian Windhorst, Leonard will most likely not come back, and he will wait until next season to seek a comeback.
